The strengths in our bridge would be the layers. We made a bottom layer, a middle layer with bunches of spaghetti and then a layer at the top. I think that the three different layers helped to support more weight.
If I could change our design, I would have made triangles or crosses going up from the bottom of the bridge and then a layer of spaghetti on the top. I think that this would have helped our bridge because triangles are strong. This would have helped support more weight.
My tips for future spaghetti bridge builders, would be to make sure that the middle where the hole is, is very strong. If it is really weak, the bridge will just break in the middle as soon as you add weight. Another tip would be to make sure you change your design as you go. If you find a problem, change it. Don't stick to the original design because that won't work as well.
